The Beatles are the best rock and roll band of all time.
The Beatles are the greatest rock and roll band of all time because they wrote great songs, produced great albums and defined 60s culture.
Despite the cultural relevance of "Beatlemania," the band's importance in the canon of rock and roll grows as a result of their classic song-writing and transcendent album production.

2. Trade papers and do a contextual read.
3. One family member should open a Google Doc and share it with my email (jcostal@gehrhsd.net) and the email of their counterpart family. Be sure to also put the names of each family member present in class on the doc.
4. Under each thesis, add a credible piece of evidence (from a 3rd party source) that supports the thesis. Be sure to attribute the evidence (one to three sentences).
5. Feel free to edit one another's submissions.
6. After you have shared your sheet, open the sheet of your counterparts. If it's done, take out the thesis rubric I gave you. Apply each of your partner family's theses to the rubrics. Give each thesis a score based on the number of "Y"s it receives from the rubric.
7. We will come together as a class to discuss these, and I do not plan on doing the talking. The family is responsible for assessing one another's these.

RESOURCE: The most comprehensive website for everything about formatting anything in APA style can be found here.
READ: Read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor. Annotate the story. Do a solid read focusing on level two and three. You will be writing your literary analysis paper on this piece, so the more thoroughly you work now, the better off you will be later. I am interested in your analysis of how O'Connor uses specific devices and concepts. If you're stuck, specifically consider terms of character development.
REMEMBER the annotation should show how the article effectively (or ineffectively) ties EVIDENCE to the CLAIM.
Use the same claim, reason and questions posed above for this assignment.
